[QUOTE="Gone Ballistic, post: 1801481, member: 26477"] Do you mean 15 gauge wire vs. 12 gauge? Large diameter carries more amps I run 12 gauge wire in my loading room for several reasons. I have a Dillon 750 set-up with casing feeder and Mr.Bullet feeder. These are low voltage and low amperage motors that are fine for 15 amp Romex. But I also have a dual sander, dual grinder, metal lathe and a large shotgun shell hydraulic loader. While the 15ga. wire would suffice running everything the problem is when you turn an electric motor on. What happens is it sometimes takes 4-6 times its running current to get it started running. This draw kept tripping my breaker until I installed the 12ga Romex wire and appropriate breaker . [/QUOTE]
